I was stuck wandering around North Van for a few hours so obviously, Persian food for lunch was on the game plan. I tried to go to one place originally but they were permanently closed. Instead, I tried Yaas Grill House.
Hours.
I dropped in on a late Saturday afternoon (around 1:15pm). Surprised to see it was busy and steady. You order at the counter, get a number and then your meal is brought out to you. If you want water, grab a glass by the utensils/takeout boxes and fill it up yourself.
The menu is up on the screen but only one was functioning. Apparently, they had two lamb options (#9 and 10) they weren’t on display.
The Saturday special, walnut pomegranate stew with rice, sounded delicious.
You can walk to the back to see all the food on display.
Kubideh kebab (#4) ($9.99)
Two beef skewers, rice, lemon, charred tomato, parsley onion mixture and purple cabbage.
The beef kebabs were super tender and flavourful. You could cut through with a fork.
The rice looked simple but it was fluffy and aromatic.
Solid Persian spot. Lamb shank next time!
